Chinese firms explore Singapore listings to bypass US-China trade tensions, attracting up to $100M.

Some Chinese companies are considering listing on Singapore's stock exchange to expand in Southeast Asia amid US-China trade tensions. This move could bring around US$100 million in new listings to the SGX, which has faced competition from Hong Kong. Singapore recently offered a 20% tax rebate for primary listings. While experts don't see Singapore overtaking Hong Kong soon, its political stability and neutral stance make it an attractive option for Chinese firms.
